Well VoodoBlueDude hade been web surfing when he found about a non publisized trail team event. Of course he called me and we decided to go. I checked and found out that a FJ club was going be there, however all day I never saw anyone I knew in the club. Big Place.
Anyway we got there around 11 in the morning and checked in. Behind the check in area was a opsticle course
looked fun and later in the day we watched a class go through it. Anyway we were just in time to sign up for a advanced run with the trail team.
Before going out we did a 15 minute warm up down a steam bed where we crossed it a few times and tested out Brads new Tires, Then
We lined up, and after a nice drivers meeting they passed out radios and we were off. we started out and did a technical ridge and stopeed where I got a few shots of the group
the next section of trail was the gem of the day. It was a climb over a ridge and back down on a trail called "Vics Cat Trail" cat trail is a good name, wish I had pics of this area but I was to busy driving, it started in a wash bed with growth growing over the trail and you are threading a needle till you hit the first hill, I was concentrating on the first offcamber turn when MY wife just let out a few explitive deleteds, she warned me we had about 3 switchbacks, back to back all off camber with a cliff on the side. I usually let her give me the heads up about the trail ahead as I concentrat on the obsticle at hand, when she cusses, I know it is about to get fun. SO the next section of trail was a blast, very tight turns and offcamber climbs snakeing up a ridge till we got to the left turn from He11, check out Brads video in this thread
VoodoBlue Dude, and Highbeams wheel with the Toyota trails team I also post some of the troubles others were having with the turn. After that turn we hit a area with strait down decents where you had to put yourself into 1st, and let the engine brake you down. After a few of those we were out and into a cool playground with climbs like these
this one was our warm up
Check out that tire on the back of VoodoBlusDudes FJC, that is a Mickey THompson MTZ, Very nice choice Brad, gets My approval
Any way we got to the top of one hill and on the other side there was a guy in trouble
guys, you cannot tell how steep that is in the pic
and the trail team stopped and winched him out
then this old FJ40 took the climb
after that it was a climb down and soon we were back at the meeting area, where we grubed out on free hambrgers and hotdogs, wolfed down chips and trail mix, washing it down with as many sodas as yo want, All free from Toyota
Well we set off on our own, found a sand wash and played a few minutes before decideing to run for home.
A great day
